strange issues with latest bios (1604)

[feniks]

i'm curious if you updated to the latest ME firmware ?

yes, I did, 8.1 ME, but there is no problem on BIOS 704 (I keep it as BIOS2) and all the mess started with 1309 and up.

Hello guys,
I could almost say that I would try to update my (now 1501), I have nothing AMD, but Asus nVidia Video GTX660TI .. but 'as always I'm always afraid of having problems. Since it 's always a thing to do with great care and only in case of problems.
I recommend to those who upgrade to wait three months before, for any error corrections.
good day to all.

... so ... UEFI boot mode is not fully immune to occasional CPU multi reset in BIOS (along with Internal PLL override, CPu Power settings like C-states, Fan control settings) ... funny that even at AUTO multi it was still reporting 4.9GHz in Windows - CPU voltage offset stayed intact so it was stable, but I was surprised because Internal PLL was disabled ...

however it still happens less frequently with UEFI mode, with Legacy Boot mode those quirks are instant.

Its Done it again turbo multiplier doesnt work on bios its stuck at x39, do i have to hask for a RMA ? The product isnt clearly working has intended.

Help please.

Ive managed to reproduce this eist getting stuck issue very easly.

Ive saved 2 profiles one at stock and one at x42 multiplier

Afther ive clear cmos to get eist functioning again if i load any of the profiles eist get stuck either multiplier doesnt work and remains at stock or remanis at x42 forever untill the cmos is cleard again.

Now what are we suposed to do? iam on latest bios and Windows 7 64

before updating my bios i had no issues , i'll try to return to the original bios 0257 on my board and see if it works better .

[feniks]

yup, it seems like the multiplier gets stuck, but it is related closely to values it was at before the last one, just as you noticed.

I wouldn't use 257 personally, it's kinda old ... 704 is the last one which works fine and I switch back to it using the BIOS selector button on MB (at standby power) to toggle between BIOS1 (1604) vs BIOS2 (704).

My Maximus V gene doesnt have dual bios does it ?

No. And my Formula doesn't either. Only the Extreme.

well ,i guess this happens with all bios versions then . (btw , no ati drivers on mine)
strange that it shows correct settings during post screen , and then the multi gets stuck .

so no real solution for this ,as of today .

...similar story here with a new Maximus V Extreme...everything worked fine, including BIOS update to 1805 - and then I accidentally hit 'GPU Up' - since then, things went a bit haywire re multiplier settings in AI Suite...even reinstalling AI suite did not help (now I unload it after booting)

My solution: as my 3770K runs great with relatively low volt (5 GHz at 1.386v), choose 40 as the multiplier in the Bios to get lower v's, then use Intel's excellent 'Extreme Tuning Utility' to bump up the multiplier to 50, along with the appropriate v boost.
